note: the 5 oz milk plus the 2 tablespoons milk = 3/4 cup milk. So just measure out the 3/4 cup, remove the 2 tablespoons to a small dish, and you're good to go.

Scald the 5 oz of milk in a saucepan.Combine the 2 tablespoons milk, cornflour, salt, sugar, egg yolk.With the milk on medium low heat slowly wisk in the other ingredients and cook until the right consistency.At this point you may add a flavoring of your choice if you like - vanilla, almond, orange, etc.Stir in butter, if desired, and chill.

Note to my readers:

If you don't have a scale you might find my recipes a bit confusing. But then I would really encourage all reasonably serious cooks to get a scale. Even a mechanical one will work. This isn't rocket science, but cooking is mathematical, and a scale really increases accuracy.
